Did anyone ask MM about the terrible usage of timeouts at the end of the game?

[snadler]

I have never seen a coach use all those timeouts like that with still so much time left. Even if by some miracle the boys scored he would have left enough time for the niners to come back and win anyway. Plus by using all his timeouts they weren't able to extend the game and were forced to go for it on 4th and long.If they had their timeouts plus the 2 min warning they could have punted and tried to get the ball back, It's been how many years and MM's clock management is still the worst in the NFL

Lol it was fine the way he used them. If we wouldn't have taken them they would have run the clock down and the scenario above wouldn't have played out at all (we wouldn't have been able to get the ball back).

Cowboys had the ball with over 3 mins left and plenty of time to score, to management was not the issue, the offense failing to get a single yard was

I think it's a contractual agreement that we have to have mental lapses with our coaches about time management. Gives the media something to keep the Cowboys in the news about!

Jerry has threatened to get reporters fired ......... they are gonna be scared now to ask anything.

the end of first half time management was way worse

a reporter asking about that should get the reporter fired for being dumb. not relevant at all to the outcome of the game

Ongoing issue since he was hired. Luckily in 10 games we get a new HC and hopefully those problems will go away.

Using all the timeouts did not affect the game?

Huh? It worked masterful. I thought it was stupid but it worked. He had 3 minutes left with the ball. Plenty of time.

The offense failed. What did yall want him to do?

I’m starting think people don’t know what clock management is. 3 minutes left was plenty of time.

No
It did not negatively affect the game in terms of our chances to win

So what do you think the main reason we lost is?

lol it wasn’t due to poor usage of timeouts

Ok ....... what was the biggest reason we lost?

 

[aikemirv]

Whether we lost or won because of usage was not the point. He did not need to use that last timeout when he did. We would have had the ball with 3 min left and a timeout instead of 3;30 with a timeout. You let the clock run there and save your timeout. Just simple logic there. A timeout in the pocket was a better decision than 30 seconds. You want the clock to run there so you score with as little time to go as possible!

105.3 The Cowards clearly had their tails between their legs and were complete submissives to Jerry the next time he came on to that show.

Nah. It’s a wash
And it’s closer to 45 secs

At all. If anything those idiots called plays like they had 20 seconds left. 3 minutes is plenty of time we just saw them in Pittsburgh call a perfect game in closing minutes….
